Like a message from the bottom of the well..
This album isn’t a performance. It’s an invocation.
Past Press Quotes
American Songwriter Magazine
“Dowd’s eager vocals are accompanied by toe-tapping instrumentals that create a package of sonic warmth. It’s a friendly reminder that life’s blessings are happening in the here and now.”
Acoustic Guitar Magazine
“The guitar-driven introspective folk of the 1970s is a touchstone, but so are blues and roots rock ’n’ roll.”
All Scene Eye
“A storyteller of the highest caliber.”
Folk Radio UK
“Musically, vocally and lyrically absorbing, [Beautiful Day] offers a universally inspirational voice to ride the flood rather than being drowned by it.”
Making a Scene
“On this, her third album, Dowd makes a major leap forward, delivering an impeccable record, lyrically and musically; clearly one of the year’s top singer-songwriter efforts to date.”
Links to Past Press & Media Coverage
“Saints & Warriors is more than a collection of songs. It’s a field guide for those who walk the liminal path. It is, in her words, ‘a battlefield and a baptism. A coming home to love.’”
